From about 12pm it'll be great, as to where to see it best, that will be more on the outskirts of the city. You should have a half decent view anywhere as it's a clear sky tonight.
I'll just be sitting on my balcony as most people's lights are off by then :o)
Count me in. Love the cosmos. I'll be staring out my window hoping to catch some.
Supposedly the best viewing location in Yunnan would be Lijiang.
Mediocre Showers I usually observe in my bathroom.
Perfect sky tonight for it, seen a few and that will do for me, even though it’s a great sight got no patience for longer lol
Time to hit the sack!
Yes, perfectly clear starry night. Dimmed city lights few hours before dawn. Couple of big ones zooming past the vicinity of ORION, facing West 30 degrees above Daguan Park.
So peaceful when Spring City sleeps.
Some time between September and December 14th. 2018 when I finally depart China, I plan to re-visit parts of north Yunnan I last saw 12 years ago. For clear views of the night sky I'm thinking of Báimǎ Xuěshān 白马雪山, Fēilái Sì 飞来寺. Anyone with first hand knowledge who can offer other suggestions and optimum times?
Just past the TLG there is Haba village with some nice guesthouses. It is rather dark in that area.
